    These things happen. Aishwarya Rai fell down a manhole...in a movie called I Have Found It which is based on Sense and Sensibility.



    In the book, miserable over the colonel, Marianne neglects her health and becomes ill. In the bollywood movie, miserable over the colonel, Meenakshi walks the streets just after the monsoon season, neglects to see a manhole and falls right through.



    I, like she, did not see that coming.



    Thanks, Bollywood.

    Texting while walking the streets of New York is not the smartest thing to do. And the next time some dbag steps on my dog while frantically texting, I'm gonna kick him in the shin.

    I was going to make fun of her, but I was a total idiot at 15, without the help of cell phones or texting.

    Still, it is totally like something out of a cartoon. She should also steer clear of banana peels.

    @Foster Kamer: "In an extended sense, a martinet is any person for whom a strict adherence to rules and etiquette is paramount: martinets often use etiquette and other rules as an excuse to trump ethics, to the point that etiquette loses its ethical ground. The Ugandan dictator Idi Amin was famously described as a "strutting martinet" by Time in 1977.[1]"
